I am trying to do a Schema Compare in Visual Studio 2010 on some SQL Server 2008 databases. But I get the following error. What does it mean and how can I ignore?
An error was received from SQL Server while attempting to reverse engineer elements of type Microsoft.Data.Schema.Sql.SchemaModel.ISql100DatabaseEncryptionKey: The user does not have permission to perform this action.
Update: “Write Updates” does actually work. But I can’t “Export to editor”.
I ran into the same problem. The only fix I found so far is to run the comparison as a user with the sysadmin Server Role. Even selecting to ignore Database Encryption Keys gives this error which seems broken to me. I filed a bug on connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/552986/schema-compare-permission-error-for-database-encryption-keys-even-though-the-type-is-set-to-be-ignored
